SUMMARY:FST Zoom Lecture: St. Francis of Assisi's Encounters with Women (Online; Partner Event)
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Franciscan School of Theology’s free lecture series\, Sr. Juliet Mousseau\, RSCJ\, PhD\, will explore an often-overlooked aspect of St. Francis’ life: his encounters and relationships with women. \n\n\n\nFrancis frequently used feminine language when speaking about God and creation\, but what do we know about his interactions with actual women? This presentation will examine Francis’ relationships with women and consider what they reveal about his spirituality\, attitudes\, and understanding of human connection. \n\n\n\nClick here for the Zoom link \n\n\n\nMeeting ID: 921 2984 4966
